Why is real-time proving necessary for blockchains to trust each other? In a future with thousands of blockchains, it’s not practical for every chain to track and verify the full history of every other chain. The communication overhead would be massive, and the network relationships too dynamic - new chains appear, old ones disappear. At our Ethproofs Summit in Berlin, @0xPolygon and @ziskvm co-founder @jbaylina explains a more scalable alternative: instead of following each other’s blocks directly, every chain produces a proof attesting to the validity of its current state. This proof is small, fast to verify, and can be checked by any other chain without replaying the entire transaction history. The impact is twofold: • Cross-chain trust without full sync: Any chain can validate another chain’s state simply by verifying its proof. • Massively scalable multi-chain ecosystems: The approach works even if there are thousands of chains, because verification cost stays constant. This is why Polygon is pushing for real-time proving - the faster the proof is available, the faster other chains can trust and act on the new state. Watch the full talk:

David Seroy of @AlpenLabs has a knack for explaining things in a way that anyone can understand. If you're not deeply technical, but for whatever reason want to gain a high-level understanding of Bitcoin Bridges and ZK's role in them, then this is the video to watch 👇

House of ZK Radio #64: Howard Wu, Co-founder of Aleo & Provable - out now on Spotify & YouTube 🔳 In this episode, Alice sits down with @1HowardWu, founder of @ProvableHQ and co-founder of @AleoHQ, to trace the full arc of his 14-year journey in crypto - from early Bitcoin fascination to building one of the first private smart contract platforms. Howard shares the foundational vision behind Aleo, detailing its technical architecture (SnarkVM, SnarkOS), language design (LEO), and recent developments like ZKML tooling and ZPass identity proofs.

Aztec marketing team sets aside time to share what we know with the community whenever given the opportunity We’re incredibly lucky to be supported by our founders and team in this Similar to sharing what you’re working on if you’re technical, this is so important for personal growth and the maturation of our industry Sharing knowledge is critical in emergent fields

Here’s one for the ZK marketeers. You don’t get many shots at the spotlight - here’s how to own yours. At the recent House of ZK San Francisco event, @KelseyRuiz_, Head of Comms at @aztecnetwork, broke down the real mechanics of go-to-market PR in crypto - covering everything from narrative design and media targeting to timing your announcements for maximum impact. Drawing on more than a decade of PR experience across Ethereum Classic, @cosmos, @Consensys, and Aztec, Kelsey shared a tactical playbook for founders and teams: how to align PR with product milestones, increase media pickup rates, navigate market sentiment shifts, and measure ROI beyond vanity metrics. Whether you’re launching a testnet, mainnet, or feature update, this session reveals how to capture attention when it matters most. Also available on YouTube:

An incredible day at the SBC Whitepaper Reading Sessions has officially wrapped 📜 A special thanks to the @WPReadingClub team for co-organizing and driving the format. The level of preparation, research, and care put into each session set a new bar and we’re looking forward to more collaborations ahead 🤝 Thanks also to everyone who joined us and helped to organize - particularly @alicelingl, @mrrongxin, @irynahozk, @BrianSeong99, @mvenkita, @hashcashier, @YourBuddyConner, @CalBlockchain, @initc3org, @talianotnatalie, and more. See you at the next one 🙏

In our latest interview from @aztecnetwork's Noircon 2, Praneeth Srikanti (Co-founder of @etherealvc) and @AlexLangeVC (Founding Partner, @inflectionxyz) break down the adoption curve for cryptographic primitives like ZK and MPC - and why UX and cost-efficiency are the real bottlenecks. They argue that until privacy tech becomes usable and cheap, it’ll stay confined to high-stakes use cases. Find out why:

Excited to cohost! Here’s to a great day of deep dives and discussions. Be sure to register.

Here’s the fantastic four of zk soon verifiable TM

got to read white papers with some of the GOATS today (@BrianSeong99, @paulgebheim, @hashcashier) at the Science of Blockchain Conference key takeaways: - People really do care about Prover Killers - Chainless apps are going to change the world fr - Those people at @boundless_xyz put an almost stupid amount of thought and care into their market design I smell a whole lot more cool research in all of our futures. shoutout to @mrrongxin, @alicelingl, @HouseofZK for hosting!
